Rep. Dan Maffei (D-NY) 25th Congressional District Map

Rep. Dan Maffei (D-NY), who represents New York’s 25th district (which includes eastern Monroe county), will be holding an open Town Hall meeting this Thursday at 6:00pm.

If you are interested in appealing to Congressman Maffei to work on the issue of broadband usage caps, and to ask him to support Congressman Massa’s efforts, please consider attending, especially if you reside in his district.

The meeting will take place at the Irondequoit Town Hall, 1280 Titus Avenue.

You can also contact Rep. Maffei’s local office to speak on this issue, even if you cannot attend. Calling is the most effective way to draw attention to an issue of concern. Writing/faxing a letter is second. E-Mailing is better than nothing, but most congressional offices are swamped with e-mail, and it can be less effective in measuring what hot button issues are most important in a district. Take a few minutes and call.

Irondequoit Office
1280 Titus Avenue
Rochester, NY 14617
Phone: 585-336-7291
Fax: 585-336-7274

[Correction: The original news of this rally that reached me indicated it was today.  Thanks to Colin for sending me this important correction – the rally is actually on April 18th]

One of the problems with the enormous number of Facebook groups that have popped up to protest Time Warner is that it’s extremely difficult to get everyone on the same page to coordinate activism events.  I encourage anyone running one of these groups to find someone they can appoint who can bring important news and developments to our attention so we can get the word out.  Since we’ve been fighting caps for almost a year now, there are a lot of people, including media outlets, that already link to us as a trusted source.  So please make sure you include us in getting the word out.  If you’d like a regular column to keep everyone informed about developments in your Facebook group (or any other organized group effort), let me know with our contact form.  I can give you an account to write your own column here.
